    #132 "Why Do We Call a Finished Relationship 'Wasted Years'?" | Kate Petersil

    💫 Free Masterclass — 9 Love Archetypes™: https://love.yanafry.com 📩 Book a 1:1 with Yana: connect@yanafry.com Kate Petersil shut down a thriving business, ended a 14-year marriage, and somehow came out of it asking a bigger question: What if falling apart is actually part of becoming more yourself? In this episode, I sit down with Kate to talk about her journey from motherhood and entrepreneurship to Mount Kailash, spiritual awakening, divorce, conscious uncoupling, and rebuilding life from a completely different place. We get into why she walked away from a successful women’s club, what difficult conversations taught her about honesty and leadership, and how she learned to stop forcing what no longer felt aligned. Kate also shares how she reframed divorce, co-parenting, love, business failure, personal growth, and the pressure women feel to “hold everything together.” This is a raw conversation about relationships, women in business, self-discovery, healing, motherhood, spirituality, and what it really takes to trust your heart when logic is telling you not to. If you’re in the middle of a life transition, questioning your relationship, career, identity, or next chapter, this conversation might hit very close to home.
